dsm turbo accord

[Whit3y]

ok i never seen a cb7 turbo in person until today ..

now i seen pics when ppl turbo there older civics and accord you gotta put a half rad in here but this guy said he ran a dsm kit on his accord and he uses a stock size one ...


i didn't question this guy b/c i was making a sale at work (i work at advance)

the turbo just looked wayyyyyy to close to the rad ....

is it good to run it like that, j/w ??

yes its very good to run your turbo as close as possible to the radiator.

[Whit3y]

lol funny guy <3

[8ball]

some people switch to a half rad yes.

i understand that i just am saying that whenver i seen a turbo honda they go half rad b/c of not having enough room ... i guess what i am asking if u go with a dsm setup u dont need a half rad ?

this was my setup, dsm t25, in my cd5. never hurt mine nor caused unwanted operation.

and yes that is silicone on the rad lol it was a mock up rad incase i got to close with a tool.

No you don't need a half size radiator.

[danf20bcb7]

i had full sized rad in the cd5. the only reason id wanna go with a halfrad right now in my cb7 is cause less in the way. im a big guy with big hands so more room the better lol.
yeah u shouldnt need a halfrad. hell ive seen civics and tegs use full rads.

Was this car an automatic? Or were you using the auto trans cooler for engine oil?

car was orig auto, it was the old rad from the same car, just plugged up the lines and ran. Often thought about runnin the oil thru it before the turbo but wasnt sure how much of a pressure drop there might be or not.

lol if it were me all i would need is a grinder,welder, and tape measure. ive seen some done before, not actuall writeups but close enough, will look to find then post up.

[Whit3y]

i dont know if there is a write up i never looked for one ... but this guy that i met he told me he had to make the 3 holes in the middle of the manifold slight bigger and than it would slip right over ...

take the dsm header gasket put it on your car and than u can see where u need to make bigger
